Volunteers Needed for Science Expo – No Science Experience Required »»
Volunteers Needed for Science Expo – No Science Experience Required Thank you for showing interest in volunteering for this year’s Science Expo, which will take place March 18, 19, 20, and 21. We could not put on this exciting event without the help of many volunteers, and this is a wonderful way to interact with local youth to foster their interest in science. The theme of this year’s expo is physical science. We’ll be featuring dozens of activities, demonstrations, and exhibits relating to properties of matter, physical/chemical changes in matter, energy and energy transfer, electricity, light, sound, forces and motion, magnetism, air pressure, friction, etc. Volunteers will be needed to run the many activity stations during the expo, so volunteer participation is vital. The event is broken up into nine two-hour sessions on each of the four days, so there are many available shifts to choose from. Volunteers are needed for the following time slots: Monday, March 18 / 11:45 am -1:45 pm Tuesday, March 19 / 9:15 am – 11:15 am Tuesday, March 19 / 11:45 am – 1:45 pm Wednesday, March 20 / 9:15 – 11: 15 am Wednesday, March 20 / 11:45 am – 1:45 pm Wednesday, March 20 / 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm (Public Session) Thursday, March 21 / 9:30 am – 11:30 am Thursday, March 21 / 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
We will provide training on the activities and no science experience is required. Volunteers might even learn something new while sharing science with our local youth. We will hold training events on March 13 at 2:30 pm and 6:30 pm at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences in Incline Village. We are also available to train you for the activity station during the hour leading up to the start time. Many of the stations require little training and print-outs with activity descriptions will be available with detailed background information about the science presented. We could really use your help. It is important that our students have early experiences in science to help them develop problem-solving skills that empower them to participate in an increasingly scientific and technological world.
If you would like to sign up to volunteer or have any questions, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Hannah Leigh, at hkleigh@ucdavis.edu or (775) 881-7560, ext. 7474. We hope to hear from you!

An engaging discussion with Sierra College Insights »»
An engaging discussion with Sierra College Insights
Join us on Friday, March 8 for “The Use of Icons of American History in Modern America” with history instructor Taylor Tiraterra.
What: An interactive presentation
When: 6:30 p.m. refreshments, 7 to 8:45 p.m. program
Where: Sierra College, Tahoe-Truckee
RSVP: Seating is limited. RSVP to (530) 550-2290
“Having just come off of another major presidential election, one of the most common debates in American politics is how our history has shaped our political scene. Were the Founding Fathers liberal or conservative, Christian or non-Christian? Was there really a grand moral cause behind the American Civil War, or was there truth in the pro-Confederate portrayals which have shaped much of recent history?
What were the actual economic results of programs such as the New Deal, Reaganomics, and the variations of our income tax rates? These issues and more will be discussed as we try to sort out fact from spin in the ways that modern media use American history,” shares Taylor Tiraterra, the evening’s guest facilitator.
Tiraterra, a history instructor at Sierra College, has a deep appreciation for differing viewpoints of historical events. He has a Master’s Degree with an emphasis in American History from Sacramento State and is a well-liked educator on the Tahoe-Truckee campus.
This is Sharon Kennedy from Incline MS with a message for parents of 4th through 12th grade students. On Wednesday, March 6 from 5:00 to 6:00PM in the Computer Lab at Incline Elementary School there will be a preview of the district approved lessons and materials for the Sexual Health And Reproductive Education classes that will be offered to all 4th through 12th grade students in WCSD. The Incline school counselors, Kristin Williams, Mary Blount, and Patty Haddad will be available to answer questions. In addition, Kathryn Weber-Karp, SHARE specialist, and Katherine Loudon, WCSD counselor supervisor, will be in attendance to assist with the presentation. Thank you and we hope to see you there.

NORTH LAKE TAHOE AND TRUCKEE –February 2013 – Tahoe SAFE Alliance, a non-profit organization, today announced the schedule for its 8-week spring Crisis Intervention Training, which begins April 9, 2013. The organization is encouraging men and women to volunteer and help the agency in its mission of reducing the incidence and trauma of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse in our own communities. Tahoe SAFE Alliance empowers survivors to move through crisis to self-sufficiency by providing reliable, consistent and progressive services. Volunteers work in a number of different programs requiring varying degrees of time commitment. All of the volunteers at Tahoe SAFE Alliance who work with clients must successfully complete the Crisis Intervention Training, which is offered bi-annually. The full calendar, draft syllabus and volunteer application are available here: http://tahoesafealliance.org/help-us/volunteer/. Interested parties can send an e-mail to kristy@tahoesafealliance.org. Please apply by March 8th.
Tahoe SAFE Alliance’s Crisis Intervention Training is an intensive 68-hour course being held on a combination of Tuesday evenings, Thursdays evenings and three Saturdays over an eight week period. The evening sessions will be from 6pm -9 pm. Saturday will be from 9am - 4pm starting April 9th and running through May 30th. The Saturday classes will be held on April 13th, April 20th and May 11th. The trainees will be expected to attend all the sessions. The classes will be conducted in the Meiling Room and Trepp Room of the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation (Reynolds Building) in Incline Village.
Topics covered during the training include: the basics of domestic violence and sexual assault, cultural diversity, substance abuse, legal issues of domestic violence and sexual abuse, acquaintance rape, child abuse, suicide, peer counseling and crisis intervention techniques.
Graduates from this course are provided with a certificate of completion and are recognized as able to work in Crisis Intervention and Peer Counseling. Successful completion of the course will allow volunteers to contribute in any of the Tahoe SAFE Alliance client-based programs. These programs include, the 24-Hour Community Help Line, the Children’s Program, the Violence Prevention Program, and the Safehouse Program.
Volunteers find this work both stimulating and rewarding. Whether it’s giving clients important information when they need it 24 hours, or aiding to guide and empower children through positive role-modeling, creative self-expression, education and support, this experience is sure to be a valuable growth opportunity for all community members. For more information about any of the programs please call Kristy Oriol, Volunteer & Event Coordinator at (775) 298-0182 or Kristy@tahoesafealliance.org.

Diamond Peak Rewards Top Incline Village Students with Free Season Passes

For media inquiries, please contact Barb Archer PR/Marketing Coordinator (775) 832-1120
DIAMOND PEAK REWARDS TOP INCLINE VILLAGE STUDENTS WITH FREE SEASON PASSES Excellence in Education Program awards straight-A students
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. (Feb. 11, 2013) – Diamond Peak Ski Resort and the Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) rewards Incline Village students for academic success this season with its Excellence in Education Program. Students enrolled through grade 12 in Incline Village schools, including the Lake Tahoe School, receive a free 2012-13 season pass in exchange for a report card with straight-A’s. The offer also extends itself to children of Incline Village property owners attending other schools.
To claim the complimentary season pass, students simply present the original report card from the period ending Jan. 18, 2013 at Diamond Peak Guest Services. Students who have already purchased season passes receive a full refund.
Diamond Peak’s Excellence in Education Program is designed to recognize the importance of academic success and reward the hard work and dedication of students in the local community. In addition, IVGID hopes to encourage students to apply that dedication outside of the classroom to achieve similar goals on the mountain and elsewhere.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) notes that student athletes graduate and are more successful overall in school than students who are not involved with sports. By rewarding students as young as five years old with free 2012-13 season passes, Diamond Peak hopes that the Excellence in Education Program will instill the values of academic and athletic achievement in the children of Incline Village.
“A great education and athletic ambition are fundamental parts of our children’s upbringing,” said Diamond Peak General Manager Brad Wilson. “We want to reward those students who have the motivation to earn straight A’s in the classroom and help them apply that motivation in another setting while having fun and enjoying the resources we have here in our community. We’re excited to see these students out enjoying themselves at Diamond Peak.”
For more information on Diamond Peak including lift tickets, lessons and special events, visit www.DiamondPeak.com or call 775-832-1177.
Diamond Peak Ski Resort is located in Incline Village, Nev. on the scenic north shore of Lake Tahoe. Offering amazing views of world famous Lake Tahoe, Diamond Peak offers skiers and boarders 30 runs and a 1,840-foot vertical drop within a 15-minute drive from central Incline Village.
